There’s a saying unrelated to politics that says “Youth is wasted on the young”, and while I don’t agree with it, I do see an important warning in the sliver of truth the saying contains. That is we must urge this generation to learn from our mistakes, and to pay attention to history so that it won’t be repeated.

Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick

Back in the 1970’s a very conservative doctor of theology, named Dr. Gene Scott stood for the rights of a homosexual church.

This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith. ~Lyndon B. Johnson

And on more bit of wisdom:

A statistician made a few calculations and discovered that since the birth of our nation more lives had been lost in celebrating independence than in winning it. ~Curtis Billings

Don’t be a statistic; don’t drink and drive. You’re freedom to do both is at the expense of others freedom to keep breathing unharmed.

Thank you to all who have suffered and sacrificed for my right to say what I like here and all over America.

God Bless Her!
